KryptEY – Android keyboard for E2EE comms via Signal protocol in any messenger
A significant amount of people will go "huh, Signal will only work when my Netflix VPN is on, I wonder why that is". Signal won't just disappear.
In fact, Signal has a network of volunteers running special proxy services[1] to access Signal from countries with oppressive governments. Signal the company may leave, but Signal the app will try to stay relevant for as long as possible.

Signal Proxy stopped working
I'm using a custom podman container behind my own nginx proxy, so all I needed was to remove the api.directory.signal.org sections from the nginx.conf according to commit 461d2d1aeec601a4d62100949a227f0cef2f6154.
We've updated the proxy itself to remove references to the old domain (see https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-TLS-Proxy/commit/461d2d1aeec601a4d62100949a227f0cef2f6154). If you pull the latest version, that should fix things.
Yes, https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-TLS-Proxy/commit/461d2d1aeec601a4d62100949a227f0cef2f6154 resolved the issue for me (using a custom container). Thanks!

Signal TLS Proxy
It's a bit odd to use a custom docker image, rather than the one maintained by nginx Inc though:
https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-TLS-Proxy/blob/main/ngin...
Vs
https://github.com/nginxinc/docker-nginx
For one, this is 5 versions behind (1.18 vs 1.23).
In general seems caddy or haproxy might be a better fit - but nginx is a perfectly fine choice I suppose.

Open source P2P alternative to Slack and Discord built on Tor and IPFS

Where is there a tutorial for Ricochet Relay?
Ricochet seems dead. It's been five years since its last commit to their git repo, and their website's certificate expired last year. This is probably why you can't find much information.

The Code the FBI Used to Wiretap the World
I think something like Ricochet (if it were still actively maintained) could be a good solution.

Every user is their own Tor onion service, so you get E2E encryption and no centralized servers. The whole thing hinges on the security of Tor itself which is probably a safe enough bet.

Ricochet reborn: A user friendly TorChat for everybody available for GNU/Linux and in the Mac Store and Windows Store.
With that being said, if I had just one piece of advice - try to avoid ostentatious phrases like Speek is by far the most secure way to converse or 100% anonymous. Tor itself is not 100% anonymous, so that should immediately make anyone cautious. One of the things that I admired about the original Ricochet was that the developers never made brazen claims about their software. In fact, quite the opposite.

Check out https://github.com/ricochet-im/ricochet/blob/master/doc/prot.... It is metadata-free. It does not require a centralized server. It uses Tor.

Why don't we have a privacy-compliant peer-to-peer communication platform yet? (something like the bittorrent of messaging and chat and blogs etc)

A Statement on Recent Events Between Signal and the Anti-Censorship Community
> there isn't a currently easily available obvious way to have private secure conversations.
Ricochet[1] works really well. It uses Tor hidden services to communicate. Your Ricochet ID is your onion address. To add a contact, you input their Ricochet ID and a short message, and Ricochet connects to their onion address and sends a contact request. If the contact request is accepted then you'll each show up as a contact on each other's client and can chat whenever you want.
Tor is really perfect for this, you can't get more private or censorship-resistant than Tor.
The UI is currently not great, but that's not a protocol problem.
The biggest problem with Ricochet is that hardly anyone is using it.
What are some alternatives?
Tox - The future of online communications.
TextSecure - A private messenger for Android.
Signal-Server - Server supporting the Signal Private Messenger applications on Android, Desktop, and iOS
session-desktop - Session Desktop - Onion routing based messenger
naiveproxy - Make a fortune quietly
nginx-proxy-manager - Docker container for managing Nginx proxy hosts with a simple, powerful interface [Moved to: https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager]
ricochet-refresh - Anonymous peer-to-peer instant messaging
forwardproxy - Forward proxy plugin for the Caddy web server
Speek - Privacy focused messenger that doesn't trust anyone with your identity, your contact list, or your communications
jami-cli - Jami client for terminal
forwardproxy - Forward proxy plugin for the Caddy web server
bore - 🕳 bore is a simple CLI tool for making tunnels to localhost
